About this Item

Cooper's fourth novel, a sea adventure of a raider, based on John Paul Jones, off the English coast during the American Revolution, here nicely illustrated by Teague and clearly intended to compete with Scribner's Illustrated Classics and N. C. Wyeth. Cooper served in the U. S. Navy from 1808-1810, and his portrayal of nautical subjects was admired by Melville & Conrad. Hardcover in jacket, as pictured; first edition thus (first printing), with same date on copyright & title pages. Light wear to book; jacket rubbed & chipped, missing about an inch from the head of the spine; page edges lightly foxed, minor light foxing on a few pages inside. Text clean; [8], 404 pages; color title page & 5 color plates as called for (though the jacket says there are eight color pictures - maybe counting the cover illustration & endsheets?), illustrated endsheets. Size: Quarto. Seller Inventory # v0515
